Kirovsk Snow Village Cable Car and SnowBus
Lunch is not included in the programme, though an optional buffet at Tirvas can be added for a fee.
This day trip takes you from Murmansk to Kirovsk and the Khibiny Mountains, with return transport and an English-speaking guide included throughout. The group programme brings together three elements: admission to Snow Village, a cable-car ascent for mountain views, and a SnowBus ride through the surrounding foothills. Scheduled departures run on Mondays and Thursdays through the December-to-April season, and the day runs for roughly twelve hours. Snow Village's opening and the mountain activities are confirmed before booking, since both depend on venue schedules and weather. Lunch is arranged separately from the main programme.
Your tour programme
Transport from Murmansk
Return transport from Murmansk is included, with an English-speaking guide accompanying the group for the day. The language used by venue staff and for on-site activity instruction at Snow Village, the cable car and the SnowBus is confirmed separately when you book.
Snow Village
Admission to Snow Village is part of the included programme. It's a seasonal attraction with its own opening date, so availability for your travel dates is checked and confirmed before booking rather than assumed from the general winter season.
Cable car in the Khibiny Mountains
A cable-car ticket is included for views over the Khibiny Mountains. Like the rest of the mountain activities, the ride operates subject to weather and venue schedules, so timing on the day depends on conditions.
SnowBus through the foothills
The SnowBus ride takes you through the foothills around Kirovsk as part of the included programme. Together with the cable car and Snow Village, it makes up the core activities of the day, confirmed before booking as weather- and operation-dependent.

Meeting and preparation
Your meeting point
We confirm the meeting point and departure time for this programme before booking. Tell us where you are staying when you send your request.
Before you go
- Dress for time outdoors in the mountains — the cable car and SnowBus both put you in exposed, cold conditions for parts of the day.
- If you'd like lunch, decide in advance whether to book the optional buffet at Tirvas or bring your own food, and flag any allergies or dietary needs when you book.
- If you're travelling in early December, check Snow Village's opening status directly rather than assuming it's open as soon as the season starts — it has its own opening date.
- For a private version of this tour, confirm which activities and meal arrangements are included before booking, since private options are quoted and arranged separately from the scheduled group departure.
- The scheduled group departs twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays, through the December-to-April season — build some flexibility into your Murmansk itinerary in case your date doesn't align.
